Placements are available to clinicians from across Victoria but are conducted in metropolitan Melbourne. Your local Pharmacotherapy Area-Based Network may be able assist with travel and accommodation expenses incurred during the placement – please email A4PN@semphn.org.au after completing your EOI if you wish to discuss this. There may also be some flexibility regarding the duration over which the placement can be completed, depending on the host clinic’s ability to accommodate extended days.
